emorial Day 2015 is over, but
before the holiday is too far
in the past, we should also
honor the women who served and died.
Women entered the military in large
numbers in World War II. Certainly,
women — including Jewish women —
served in combat zones prior to WWII.
Ethel Gladstone, for example, was a
nurse in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps in
World War I. But, with the huge scale of
the global conflict known as the Second
World War, there was a sudden and
urgent need for American women to fill
numerous critical military positions. In
response, the Women's Army Auxiliary
Corps (the WACs) was created in 1942;
the Navy's service unit for Women was
known as WAVES (Women Accepted for
Voluntary Emergency Service). Although
the word "Auxiliary" was removed in
1943, this change was largely symbolic.
Women often did not receive equal
pay (in some cases, any pay at all!) or
other military entitlements. Detroit's
